there were only åa few berried specimens. 'Two ovigerous females 
were taken on the 7th June (Baadsfjord, 30—40 fathoms). At 
the latter end of August several large specimens (100 —120 mm. 
long) from Porsangerfjord had well-filled ovaries.

Habitat: We have a large material from å great many fiords 
in northern Norway. [Beierfjord, 30—150 meters; Jøkelfjord,

Breeding season: From several of the fiords in northern 
Norway material has been collected by NorpGAarD during the period 
from middle of March to end April; and we are in possession of 
numerous berried specimens from these months, in all of which 
the ova are highly developed. In some specimens from the latter 
part of April we even found å few small newly-hatehed larvae 
among the eggs. In the first half of June s/s *Michael Sars” 
secured three females in the Varanger fiord one of which had 
just spawned while the other two had apparently lately hatehed out 
their ova. During July and August also numerous berried individuals 
were found, though in their case in contradistinction to the ones 
taken in March— April the ova were always only slightly developed. 
Inasmuch as there is å regular well-defined spawning time 
in the spring, and as already in the first halt of June we find
